This table[1] posted by @codezero explains it. > Since 1900, the numbers of recognized meteorite “falls” is about 690 for the whole Earth. That’s 6.3 per year. Only 98 of those occurred in the US. That’s less than 1 per year. Even when a meteorite is observed to fall, experienced meteorite hunters may find only a few stones when hunting dawn to dusk for a week. 1: https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/some-meteorite-realities/ https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/some-meteorite-r...
